John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge
This pedestrian crossing over the Cumberland River offers a broad view back to downtown Nashville. It suits a short outdoor walk, with the bridge itself as much of the attraction as the skyline.

Crossing the river changes the scale of the city: downtown’s towers, the river and the steel truss structure come into one view. The former road bridge also tells a reuse story, having been preserved and converted for pedestrians after vehicle traffic ended.
What to look for
The steel truss frames views along the Cumberland River.
Downtown’s skyline opens up from the middle of the crossing.
The former roadway now carries people on foot.
Useful to know
Allow time to walk onto the bridge rather than stopping only at its entrance.
Check for riverfront event closures before heading over during major celebrations.
